Some people think that early applications of quantum computing will be in the analog style, e.g., Quantum Analogue Computing < https://arxiv.org/abs/1001.2215 >.

Windows on the DEC Alpha was still in support at the time, I think, so someone at Microsoft must have used it.

How does it compare to Teiid? It seems to be at least partially in the same space.

That could mean that the clone3 system call fails with EPERM instead of ENOSYS. Suppressing system call implementations with ENOSYS is generally safer because it just looks like an older kernel, while EPERM is an regular error code for some

On the GCC side, there are no plans to stop supporting building applications using Clang and libstdc++ (that is, using the libstdc++ installed headers and the GCC-built libraries/shared objects). Therefore, a question mark next to libc

Regarding lack of margin calls, is there truly no way for the lender to renegotiate or get out of the contract if the market value of the collateral depreciates too much? And well before the borrower fails to meet interest payments?

Isn't the proof incomplete because it does not ensure that the result is a permutation of the original array contents? Just overwriting the entire array with its first element should still satisfy the post-condition as specified, but i

It's curious to bring up Amazon and AWS in this context, without noticing the myriad of SKUs that AWS offers. One could argue that all of them are virtual, so they don't really matter, but there is certainly a certain paralysis of

I find it curious that the other two top-brand public clouds do not undercut AWS significantly in areas like network bandwidth charges, when other operators can offer similar service it vastly reduced cost. This does look like a market fail

What confused me a lot that I remember seeing this as a movie, but it was not the 1968 version or the 2000 TV remake. There is a French remake that's not referenced on the English-language Wikipedia page (Des fleurs pour Algernon, from

That seems to be fairly standard. When some government institution started a term-limited security-related program for a project to which I contribute, the consulting company that ran the program took out a fixed fee out of the pool each mo

Regarding the “too good to be true” part, I wouldn't take them seriously based on what they have published (and more crucially what they have withheld, like an ISA manual or sources of a GNU toolchain port), except they managed to hi

The gateway between Google Groups and certain newsgroups is still running, in both directions. For example, I received a copy of this Groups posting https://groups.google.com/g/de.soc.recht.steuern+buchfuehrun... over

Maybe the compiler didn't implement the HUGE memory model, only the LARGE memory model? https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20200728-00/?p=10... has an overview that appears to match what I remember fr

IPv6 was optimized for simple software forwarding implementations. For example, the header checksum was eliminated, so that the TTL (or hop limit) update does not need to recompute the checksum. But the IPv4 header checksum is so weak that

glibc does exactly this for bsearch. The difference with C++ is that the specialized function (bsearch or qsort) does not receive vague linkage, so it is not going to be deduplicated by the link editor. For bsearch, the code size increase i

For OpenJDK, there is JEP 178: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/178 I haven't seen it used in practice. Ocaml's C-implemented functions are linked statically. But like JNI, the C functions have special names and

It's translated from 60 kph. Apparently, the current system is restricted to German highways. Those are limited to vehicles which can go at least as fast as 60 kph, and this might be where this number comes from. It's basically th

Google asks for a phone number in this context even for accounts which are integrated with an external identity provider and for which Google does not need to (or rather: must not) provide a recovery option. Furthermore, in most countries,

Indeed. This is very odd for a study designed as a reproduction of a different study. Why use different prompts?

I can't speak for the OpenJDK developers, but given that the LXR collector is written in Rust, the current implementation is extremely unlikely to be merged.

There were some fairly large fiber rollouts in the late 80s/early 90s (OPAL, Optische Anschlußleitung). No copper meant it was impossible to deploy DSL, and available optical networking technology wasn't cost-effective during the

I think it's a reasonable inference from a speech Himmler gave at Posen in October 1943. That speech was both frank and well-documented, and it was used as evidence in the Nuremberg trials, so Arendt must have been familiar with it. Hi
